Early life

History

His first battle occurred while on a training exercise as a Spartanian pilot in 798 UC(489 IC / 3598 CE). He survived the destruction of his carrier, the Ameretat, destroyed 3 Walküre fighters, and 1 Imperial cruiser through shooting a missile launcher. (LOGH: 'First Battle')

During the Eighth Battle of Iserlohn, Julian destroyed another Walküre fighter, and successfully deduced Admiral Kempff's strategy for dealing with the Alliance reinforcements returning with Yang Wen-li. The Iserlohn Garrison Fleet therefore did not fall for Kempff's ruse and successfully launched a surprise attack on the Imperial fleet's rear whilst it was engaged with Yang Wen-li's forces.

Novels

Julian's mother was a commoner that fled from the Empire. His father was from the Mintz family, which was a prestigious family within the Alliance as they had been among the followers of Arle Heinessen that made the journey from the Empire to found the Alliance. Julian's mother died when he was 2. When he was 8, his father was killed. He spent the next 2 years with his grandmother until she died when he was 10. He had no pictures of his parents. His grandmother had destroyed any pictures he had with his mother, and had hidden any he had with his father. When she died, he could not find them. Julian thought his grandmother had been ashamed of her son marrying a new refugee of commoner background, and her antipathy had also extended to Julian himself. Julian noted her attitude was little different from that of Imperial nobles and their focus on bloodline. (Legend of the Galactic Heroes Gaiden: Iserlohn Diary)
